Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
$ apt-cache policy nautilus
nautilus:
Installed: 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu3
Candidate: 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu3
Version table:
*** 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu3 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
After upgrading to Hardy, I've noticed that I can't launch some KDE applications (kate, kwrite, khexedit),
either by double-clicking on a file associated to any of these apps, or by using "Open with" in the context
menu.
As a workaround to launch Kate, I have set up through the context menu > "Open with" >
"Open with other application..." > "Use a custom command" to launch "/usr/bin/kate -u".

the issue is due to the kde desktop files which are buggy, they use an empty path key which is not correct
